Ingredients
Scale
Cherry Cream Cold Foam
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 ½ tablespoons cherry syrup
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
Iced Cherry Chai
- ½ cup chai tea concentrate
- ½ cup milk of choice (2% recommended)
- ½ teaspoon freeze-dried cherries, crushed
- Ice
Instructions
- Prepare Cherry Cream Cold Foam: In a small glass or container, combine 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, 1 ½ tablespoons of cherry syrup, and 1 tablespoon of whole milk. Froth the mixture vigorously for 20-30 seconds until it forms a fully whipped, creamy foam. Set this aside for topping.
- Assemble Iced Cherry Chai: Fill a glass with ice cubes, then pour in ½ cup of chai tea concentrate followed by ½ cup of your preferred milk, such as 2% milk.
- Top and Garnish: Spoon the prepared cherry cream cold foam on top of the iced chai latte. Finish by sprinkling ½ teaspoon of crushed freeze-dried cherries to add color and a concentrated cherry flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use chilled chai concentrate for best flavor and to keep the drink cold without excessive dilution.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and whole milk with coconut cream and almond milk respectively, adjusting frothing time.
- Freeze-dried cherries add a delightful texture and concentrated cherry aroma without adding moisture.
- The cherry syrup can be homemade or store-bought depending on preference.
